[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-fairly clear lake, with a swim area marked by buoys -no lifeguard on duty -parent at lake's edge, watching younger sibling, and not in a swimsuit -kid about 20 yards (60feet) from shore -[b]water up to the kid's neck[/b] -kid is a competent swimmer and very comfortable in the water -no flotation devices or life jacket -early sunset with light shining toward shore, so it was hard to see swimmers I thought the age of the child (and therefore their size/experience) made the situation extremely dangerous, but my spouse thought I was overreacting and that it was a "fine if the parent thinks it's fine" type of thing (it was not our kid). Curious about what rules others have at the lake. [/quote] So the child was standing on the bottom of the lake and their head was completely out of the water?[/quote] Yes, maybe on tippy-toes, but head was out of the water. Child is 4.[/quote]
